Image of Assembled Voltron from Mattel's Club Lion Force

We've seen it in the case at SDCC, now we have an official shot from Mattel.

the black lion is a brick

I have the sub for this line. I think it's worth it to own a Big Ass Voltron.

it's definitely going to be impressive. and honestly if the lions design utilized metallic silver (or better yet vac metal) legs mattel would've totally had me. i just can't get past the pale legs. imo, there isn't enough contrast in the piece.

off topic: maybe mattel will create a new dc 1/18 scale line using the articulation of the pilots

[weezus]

for some reason i have a strong desire to purchase this.

i imagine that its obscenely expensive if it has 'club' in it.

[omega145]

Its $280 right? I like how they have the drivers, do they actually go inside of them?

If I recall correctly from the video, the included keys open a "hatch" for the figures to sit in, but there was no demonstration that the hatch could close over the figures.

[ludovicotek]

Yes, the pilots actually fit inside the lions. Hatch closes and everything.

[siekone]

I just bit the voltron bullet

[squawkbot]

This pic is making me wanna join

[firmpulse]

dammit. after reading this interview at collectiondx i now want to join. the lions aren't going to be bricks at ALL!

Q&A with the Voltron Team from Mattel | CollectionDX

[Optimus Vader]

The pilots fit in, and the hatches close with them in. You can fit two drivers in the blue lion to accommodate Sven.

This is more of an update to the original PLASTIC version that had an entire toyline (castle, action figs, etc), not the smaller metal version. Same thing with the original; the pilots fit in.

I kind of like the white legs just because it's a little different. I still have the original, and the chrome held up pretty well, but it doesn't need to be 100% identical for me. It's close enough, so I joined.

[firmpulse]

the thing that excited me about this interview is the fact that the lions will be able to achieve a proper "A stance". that's freakin awesome. in the photos released thus far they've looked like bricks.

i'm still not crazy about the leg color. i simply do not like the fact that they are so light.

[thechris]

I also bit the bullet on this one. Want the real kicker? I *never* watched Voltron. I heard about it as a kid, but never watched it. Didn't know when it was on, not even sure if it even aired here or if we had the channel that aired it. Never knew anything about it other than it having robot lions (that lets face it, look more like mountain lion/panther/stripeless tiger/wildcat or a lioness) piloted by youths that formed together to make a giant robot humanoid.

My nephew(who was only a year younger than me) had the red lion and the fat pilot who had black hair. I found the toy extremely brittle and the legs began to snap off. The closest thing we had that I saw was Saber Rider, and that show kicked serious ass. Sweet theme song. Cool characters. Wild West meets Giant Robo. The Bismarck was the shit and he was voiced by Optimus Prime himself. Anyhow, I signed up because this toy looks freaking amazing and thus was worth it for me to buy. I still haven't watched Voltron, by the way.

I don't have any other subscriptions, not to DC Universe, not to Ghostbusters (which I was a huge fan of to ridiculous proportions), not to MOTUC, but I signed up to Voltron because it just looked like a must have toy whether you're a fan or not. :]

Hate to say it, but I don't think they will. The interview was talking about Voltron having the "A" stance. I think the separate lions won't have any more articulation than the original because of the auto-transform function.

IDK, I remember reading through all those questions and I thought they were specifically talking about the loins legs having extra articulation the prototype did not have.

I pulled the trigger early on with this sub. I had a friend at SDCC confirm the awesomeness of this set. next years gonna be rough.

[Robogeek28]

I'm very unimpressed with these and really wish I'd broken down and picked up the Masterpiece one while it was easily available(and cheaper too).

[BAD MOON]

I joined a couple weeks ago. I'm actually thrilled about the white color. I've been wanting a giant cartoon accurate Voltron for years. Cool metallic versions already exist in several forms.

[joemama13]

Wanted to join but couldn't afford it.

[OMEGAPRIME1983]

I think... I would rather stick with the Toynami version.. It just looks all around better to me :/

[kaos]

i hope that the black lion has a feature that plays the theme song when u push the middle chest to drop the head..that would be boss...only a couple more days till my red lion arrives...
